Spectacular is debatable, but the 90s Spider-Man is NOT better than Ultimate. That's nostalgia talking.
Nope!!! nikka, You wrong!!!! "Spectacular Spider-Man" over Ultimate Spider-Man is not debatable & 90's Spider-Man is WAY BETTER than Ultimate Spider-Man. And i'm NOT on some nostalgia shyt, I recently re-watched all of the 90's Spider-Man show a few years, the show has it's flaws but it holds up well compared to most 90's & 80's cartoons.
I understand the humor can be off-putting, but I don't see why that's SUCH a problem for so many people that USM is basically the "Superhero Family Guy" when these same people have no problem with Young Justice being a "Superhero CW show" with all its angsty teen drama.
The reason the humor is so off-putting is because the 1990's set a standard of serious Marvel & DC animated shows that appeals to all ages. The occasional humor is OK, even the show being a Dramedy is OK. But NOBODY wants to see an all-out childish comedy show, which is what Ultimate Spider-Man is.
The reason "Young Justice" gets a pass for being a "Superhero CW show" with all its angsty teen drama is because:
1. The characters are teenagers
2. It's a very good show (well-written & Well-directed), unlike Ultimate Spider-Man.
3. We already have examples of a show like that with "X-Men Evolution".
4. The Guy behind Young Justice, Greg Weisman, has a loyal following because of his other 2 shows, "Spectacular Spider-Man" & "Gargoyles".
